About the JUNGE AKADEMIE
The support of young, international artists working in all artistic disciplines is a central task of the Akademie der Künste, which it fulfils through the JUNGE AKADEMIE’s artist-in-residence programme, and other awards of work and residency grants. This support has been firmly anchored in the statutes of the Akademie since 2007. The three-month studio residencies offer fellows time, space and resources to focus on their art in a new environment.

The programme creates an open space for artistic research and the production of art and knowledge, which is actively shaped by each year's group of fellows together with mentors and members of the Akademie. Artists have the opportunity to develop projects, participate in current programmes, and conduct research in the Akademie's archives. Artistic works are presented and communicated in open studios, events, and exhibitions. It is an essential responsibility to maintain this free and protective space for artistic expression and exchange, experimentation and encounters across political and cultural borders.
The advisory council of the JUNGE AKADEMIE consists of Akademie members Nanne Meyer (Visual Arts Section), Regine Leibinger (Architecture Section), Caspar Johannes Walter (Music Section), Ulf Stolterfoht (Literature Section), Arila Siegert (Performing Arts Section) and Martin Steyer (Film and Media Arts Section).
Fellowships
The JUNGE AKADEMIE awards up to 20 fellowships per year through various programmes, which are continuously being developed. The Berlin Fellowship (since 2007) is awarded annually to 12 artists on the recommendation of Akademie members and external curators, with each section selecting two fellows. The Villa Serpentara Fellowship has been awarded annually since 1961 to four international artists, preferably from Berlin. The sections take turns awarding this fellowship.

In addition, the Werner Düttmann Fellowship for Transdisciplinary Art, the Saarland Fellowship and the Ellen Auerbach Fellowship for Photography were established in recent years. Recommendations for these fellowships are made by Akademie members as well as external curators.
In 2020, the JUNGE AKADEMIE launched the Human Machine Fellowship Programme. It promotes artistic positions in the context of digital technologies with annual open calls for all disciplines. Since 2021, the JUNGE AKADEMIE has also been awarding a ten-month Curatorial Fellowship every two years, for which Berlin-based curators can apply.

Exhibition and Events
The artistic works and ideas of the fellows are presented and communicated in exhibitions, open studios and other event formats. Every two years, the JUNGE AKADEMIE organises major presentations of works by over 30 fellows from all programmes, such as the recent project The Breath of a House is the Sound of Voices Within (2024). Creative workshops also serve as a platform for transdisciplinary artistic and scientific exchange and are organised within the framework of key topics such as the “AI Anarchies” Programme (2022–2023).

Open Studios
Every three months, the JUNGE AKADEMIE opens its studios in the Hansaviertel with presentations by current fellows. The spacious, two-storey ateliers in the so-called “Blue House” of the Akademie building on Hanseatenweg, designed by architect Werner Düttmann and overlooking the Tiergarten, are used by the fellows as exhibition and performance spaces to show existing and emerging works and provide insights into the spectrum of their ideas and projects.
Publications
The JUNGE AKADEMIE supports catalogues and artist books by its fellows. Multilingual artistic and scientific publications are produced within the framework of key topics.
